According to the Rams, they sold 25,000 tickets to season tickets holders for the game at State Farm Stadium in the first hour they went on sale.

Team president Kevin Demoff noted that it became clear this week that the city also wouldn’t be able to staff the game like usual — football stadiums with tens of thousands of people need a civic presence — and that made it clear the game would have to be moved.

The Rams must now go to Arizona on Friday night. The team was hoping they didn’t have to leave this early, but VP Tony Pastoors called hope “not a strategy”.
